"...time is it, babe?" asked a husky voice next to
him.
"10:13 pm. I've been waking up every night this week at
the
same time. Ugh."
He pulled the sheets over his head. Krycek joined him under
the covers, his green eyes gleaming.
"Alex. Why do your eyes glow in the dark?"
"Mmm. My secret, lover." Krycek giggled. "Want
some help
getting back to sleep?"
"Oh, yeah."
rustling noises
"How's that?"
groans
"God, don't stop."
The doorbell rang. Two tousled heads shot up in unison.
"I didn't know you had a doorbell, Fox."
"Get it, would you? I don't want to move."
Krycek muttered something untranslatable even in Russian,
before getting up dutifully to answer the door. He squinted
through the peephole.
"Jeff??" Krycek cracked the door open.
"Hi." Jeffrey Spender stood meekly on the threshold.
"You
left this at my place."
He pressed the button on the metal rod in his hand,
transforming it into an alien-killing stilleto. Krycek
grabbed it from him.
Spender craned his neck, trying to see inside the apartment.
"Are you here with Mulder?" he demanded, his voice
rising to
a ferret-like squeal. "After everything we had this
weekend?"
"Go home, Jeffy." Krycek slammed the door.
"Who was that?" asked Mulder as Krycek climbed back
into
bed.
"No one important. Now, where were we?"
"Somewhere in the vicinity of my bellybutton, I think..."
Krycek dived beneath the sheets. He was licking Mulder's
stomach enthusiastically when the doorbell rang again.
"Shit!!"
Mulder hid, leaving Krycek to do the dirty work as usual.
This time the broad shoulders of Assistant Director Skinner
filled the door.
"Here." Skinner thrust a gun at Krycek. Butt-first,
for a
change. "You dropped this in my office yesterday. Getting
as
bad as Mulder."
"Gee, thanks," groused Krycek, taking the gun. He
was about
to close the door when Skinner grabbed him by the back of
the neck.
"Like your outfit, boy. Want to continue your
interrogation right here?"
"Maybe another time," Krycek purred, before throwing
his
weight against the door to shut Skinner out.
"Aaaalex," whined Mulder from the bedroom.
"Coming!"
"Oh, I hope so."
Krycek took two steps in Mulder's direction. The bell rang.
He swiveled around and opened it, cursing.
"Skinner, I told you to—"
Dana Scully stared up at him. She was perfect, from her neat
beige pantsuit to the red hair that framed her delicate oval
face. The only note of disorganization about her was the
lust in her eyes.
"This is for you." She lifted a test tube of something
that
looked dark and oily.
Krycek shuddered. "Don't tell me I left that somewhere."
"No." Scully set the tube on the floor, then straightened
up
and began to take her clothes off. "It was just an excuse."
"Er, Dana, not now!"
"Please, Alex baby...you're the only man who's ever unthawed
me. I can't live without you!"
Krycek slammed the door before Scully could launch herself
at him. He practically raced back to bed.
"I am not answering that damn door again," he declared,
wrapping his arm around Mulder.
"Good. I was getting out of the mood."
"Oooh, I'll put you in the mood, hot stuff."
Krycek set back to work with a will. He soon had Mulder
gasping and writhing beneath his expert touch. Just as both
men came close to simultaneous, mind-shattering orgasm, the
bell rang.
"Ignore it," Mulder panted.
The bell rang again, insistently, in one long buzz. Krycek
jumped up, ready to kill. He ran to the door and opened it
wide.
"Hi, Alex," said the man in the doorway, smiling
benignly.
"I don't smoke!" Krycek screamed.
From the bedroom, Mulder heard the sound of nails being
pounded through wood. Krycek came in a few minutes later
with a hammer in his hand.
"No one is getting in that door tonight!"
Mulder wrinkled his nose.
"Who was it? You smell like cigarettes."
Krycek shuddered. "You don't want to know."
"Well, I'm finally getting sleepy." Mulder stretched
and
turned over. "G'night, Alex."
"Oh, man." Krycek sat on the bed. "I really
need you, Foxy."
"Sorry, I'm beat. What time is it now, anyway?"
"10:13. Your clock's stopped."
Krycek touched his lover's hair, but Mulder was already fast
asleep. He lay back down, wondering what to do about the
ache in his groin. He remembered the guy he'd met last week
in a cafe. A little older, but nice-looking, silver hair and
a tan. They'd talked casually about surfing and exchanged
phone numbers. Maybe Krycek could introduce him to some
extreme possibilities.
The thought was enough to help him ignore the muffled
knocking from the next room. Thank God he'd taken the time
to rip out the bell.
The End!

Mulder rolled over, grumbling. He looked at the clock.
